Who We Are
The “Global Umbrella Organization” (GUO) has neither a physical office nor a representative office. It exists exclusively online and by mutual consent of its members. Our official contact is exclusively via the email address provided on this website. The GUO does not engage in any commercial activities itself; it provides free support to its members, who may engage in commercial activities on their own responsibility.
